The Shire of Augusta Margaret River is considering the introduction of timed, unpaid parking along Bussell Highway in the Margaret River Main Street Precinct. This proposal is in response to requests from some local businesses.
The aim is to free up the number of bays near shops and to encourage visitors and employees who are in town for long periods to park on adjacent streets and car parks. This could mean a blanket three-hour time limit in public parking areas throughout the town centre or specifically tailored time limits allowing individual businesses to cater to their customers’ requirements. For example, 15-minute parking at the front of chemists and newsagents. For more information, please download the one-page fact sheet.
This consultation is also seeking public opinion on suitable locations for a permanent and peak hour (Friday and Saturday nights) taxi rank. As a town with limited public transport, taxi services provide an invaluable community service and the Shire needs to ensure the rank location is easily located with adequate seating and shade for users.
Business owners and the wider community are invited to have their say on this proposal. Their input will help the Shire determine the level of support for timed, unpaid parking and in what shape and form, as well as guaranteeing the decision reflects the needs and wants of the wider community.
Take the survey below or pick up a hard copy from the Shire offices. Feedback will be collated and presented to Council with a recommendation for or against the inclusion of timed, unpaid parking within the town centre of Margaret River along with proposed locations for taxi ranks.
The consultation process is now open and will close on Monday 7 June 2021.
